Accessibility Minute Newsletter Fourth Anniversary
The Digital Accessibility Office is thrilled and thankful to be writing this month's newsletter as we celebrate the fourth anniversary of the Accessibility Minute Newsletter. It has been a joy to work towards creating a more accessible digital environment, and we couldn’t have done it without our subscriber’s amazing support and participation. Thank you for joining us on this incredible journey! As we mark this special occasion, let’s pause to reminisce on this last year’s monthly newsletters.
We also want to utilize this month’s newsletter as an opportunity to hear from you! If there is a topic you’re interested in learning more about, please submit your newsletter topic idea.
